Style: Doppelbock
Mossautal, Hessen, Germany

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of MoritzF. Pours a clear, orangey brown with a dense, lacing off-white head. Sweetish aroma of roasted malt and some alcohol. Quite a full and very solid body with a shipload of roasted malt. Quite a bitter finish with a distinct alcohol burn. 191207

Bottle. Amber colour with a nice head. Aroma of malt and caramel. Flavour of malt, sweetness and alcohol. Very tasty for a nice doppelbock.

Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is has notes of bread and caramel as well as lighter notes of metal from the alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel, metal, and alcohol.

Bottle. [Another great tasting session @ Papsoe] Large beige thick and creamy head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Clear body with a light brown color. Toasted malt, grain, brad, hint of fruit. Over the palate moderated notes of bread and almost roasted malt. Medium bodied with a soft carbonation and an alcoholic texture. Moderated sweet flavor. Sweet toasted malty finish. Not as bread like as would normally be expected of a doppelbock. 6 / 3 / 7 / 3 / 12

Bottle. Pours dark copper with creamy beige head. Fruity, roasted and nutty aroma, with clear alcohol notes, but not overwhelming. Very smooth mouthfeel. Nicely balanced.

Dark bronze with no carbonation. Sweet but never overpoweringly so. Not as much body as you would expect from a beer of this strength so it is quite dangerous. A very pleasant Dopplebock.

Bottle, courtesy of Pivnizub. Dark red chestnut, creamy golden head. Nut and sweet berry aroma. Sweet dark sugar base, nuts light roast, sweet but never cloying. Easy drinakbale.

Bottle: Mahagony coloured, almost no head; restrained sweet-fruity and caramelly nose with a touch of molasses and alcohol; sweet flavour, medium bodied; moderate fruity-sweet ending with some bitterness showing up late. A decent Doppelbock... for beginners !
